Salvadorans and other Central Americans have a strong presence in the United States because of the recent civil wars, natural disasters, and resulting economic downturns in the region. Most fled the right-wing death squads that were funded by the Reagan and first Bush Administrations and that targeted civilian populations in the 1980s and 1990s. The war in El Salvador left more than 80,000 people dead and more than 9,000 disappeared. In The Salvadoran Americans, readers will understand the fuller context of Salvadoran and Central American immigration to the United States and how these new Americans are adjusting to and contributing to U.S. society. The land of El Salvador and its demography, language, history, including the war and Peace Accords, culture, and religion are briefly surveyed to begin. A major section then covers the immigration laws and status of the refugees once they arrived. The reasons for emigration and waves of migrations of Central Americans since the 1870s are explained further. Recent demographics offer concrete numbers to better analyze the new populations. Other chapters cover adjustment and integration issues, emphasizing family and community influences. Employment, political, health, and youth issues, including gang participation, are discussed. The contributions to U.S. society and culture, including participation in the labor force, food, and artistic output, as well as profiles of noted Salvadorans in the United States, round out the narrative.Many photos from the major Salvadoran communities, particularly in California, Washington, D.C., and Texas, are interspersed in the text.

America's Concentration Camps: The Facts about Our Indian Reservations Today
America's Concentration Camps: The Facts About Our Indian Reservations Today is a book written by Carlos B. Embry that provides an in-depth analysis of the current state of Indian reservations in the United States. The book delves into the history of the reservations, exploring how they came to be and how they have evolved over time. It also examines the current living conditions of Native Americans on the reservations, including issues such as poverty, unemployment, and inadequate healthcare. Embry argues that the reservations are essentially concentration camps, where Native Americans are forced to live in poverty and are denied basic human rights. He calls for a radical overhaul of the reservation system, advocating for greater autonomy and self-determination for Native American communities. The book is a powerful critique of the treatment of Native Americans in the United States and a call to action for those who seek to address the injustices that they have endured.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
